It s quite a contrast to what the clothes are.

The makeup s like the complete opposite.

As if it s a smokey eye and a beige lip.

It s a smokey lip and a beige eye.

So it s like really clumsy switching it on it s head

but in a very subtle way.

In the dynamic collection

that Peter Dundas showed for Pucci today,

the girls may have been covered up,

but they weren t covered.

There was a distinct whiff of danger.

But here it was more bond girl than Dragon Tatoo.

I think she s dangerous because I think femininity

and sensuality is incredibly powerful.

I believe in you should be the best you could be

and enhance yourself.

If you can have power

through desire, why not?

[Tim] What a dynamic reconceptualization

of the Pucci woman.

The Pucci woman was also a woman taking risks.

She looks like she has been in the jungle and some

tiger has taken away some pieces of the dresses.

They didn t want to show skin.

It s like I wanted to do something different.

And try to do something that wasn t so expected for me.

So less sexy and so I ve showed less skin basically.

They re dressed to be photographed.

Because it s totally Helmut Newton in a way.

It s like going to a opera night.

It s very, very classic and sexy at the same time.

What I think Peter did fantastically,

he gave a different dimension

to the front of the body of the girl.

Just by cutting, resewing,

and giving it the graphics through the fabrics.

And I think that s absolutely amazing.

The workmanship, the talent and the every detail.

[Tim] What do you call these suits?

The print suits.

They re like pajamas.

They really are men s pajamas.

When I started working on it I was trying

on some of my own clothes on a girl.

And after I put my coat on.

And she knew she looked great.

And so it kind of went from there.

I thought that was a

very interesting reinterpretation

of the foulard.

And you have a lot of those prints.

But some kinds, in a way,

they were kind of cut in pieces

and places again on chiffon

to create a completely new context

for that piece of history.

[Tim] A very interesting way to take something

so heritage and make it look new.

Not just delivering a heritage collection.

It s taking it where Peter Dandus belong.
